// Since the `?` operator returns an `Err` early if the thing it's trying to
// do fails, you can only use the `?` operator in functions that have a
// `Result` as their return type.
// Hence the error that you get if you run this code is:
// ```
// error[E0277]: the `?` operator can only be used in a function that returns `Result` (or another type that implements `std::ops::Try`)
// ```
// So we have to use another way of handling a `Result` within `main`.
// Decide what we should do if `pretend_user_input` has a string value that does
// not parse to an integer, and implement that instead of using the `?`
// operator.
// If other functions can return a `Result`, why shouldn't `main`?
